Birria chilaquiles recommendation?

Pregnant lady here in San Diego for only a few days and seriously craving birria chilaquiles - the only chilaquiles I could find in my hometown was a complete joke! I only have enough time to try out one restaurant so can’t screw this one up. Where to get the best birria chilaquiles?! Staying near Liberty Station but willing to drive any distance if it’s worth it!! TIA!

When (if?) to wean first kiddo?

Hello! Currently have a 13 month old who will be 19 months when baby brother is born. She currently breastfeeds before bed and first thing in the morning. She sleeps through the night, is able to put herself back to sleep if needed in the MOTN without needing to nurse. I luckily don’t have any breast tenderness and I quite enjoy breastfeeding her!

Realistically though, I’m not sure how sustainable this will be after I have a newborn. I know many people continue breastfeeding their first after #2 is born, but I have to admit this does feel like it could be overwhelming especially since 2u2 is already challenging. Does anyone have any strong opinions on deciding to ween before #2 comes or not? If I do ween, I suppose I probably shouldn’t wait until right before baby brother arrives? Help!

12 mo regression?

I sleep trained at around 7 months, somewhat of a modified Ferber, and got to the point of her waking up only once per night to breastfeed and then going right back to sleep. She does not feed to sleep at bedtime. This was maintained from approximately 9-10 months. At 11 months, she basically weaned herself to STTN.
Now at just a couple days shy of 12 months, the last 3 nights she’s been waking up in the middle of the night. Since she had been STTN consistently over the past month, I’ve been really hesitant to reintroducing night breastfeeds, so I’m trying to avoid doing that but it’s been so rough. It’s 1:30 AM and she’s crying and crying, I go in there and gently pat and give reassuring words like I used to do when I sleep trained back at 7 months, but she’s definitely expecting the breast. I am currently pregnant with #2 and so tired so would reeeeally like to get back to STTN… I guess I just need reassurance that I should not breastfeed her during these wake ups at this point, right??
Does anyone else have experience with a similar sleep regression? She already has 8 teeth, so unless there are molars coming in already, I don’t think it’s teething?
She usually takes 1-2 naps per day, she’s a great napper and goes to sleep easily at bedtime, so I don’t really feel like the schedule is the problem
